Handlebar change RK

[boss429kiwi]

Hi

Well, I have just purchased my first Harley, which is a 2006 Road King Classic, love it!. Being 6ft 6", I need to change the factory handlebars.

Will I need to alter the cables and lines for a set of handlebars that are:
36"ACROSS HAVE 8" RAISE AND 5" PULL BACK

Thanks Gary

yes you will need new cables and extend the wiring there usually 2-3 inches to spare and thats it

You should find someone that switched to the police heritage bars from HD. They fit the RK w/same cables and most people (small and tall) like the way they fit. Search the old messages here and you will see. Only $100 for the bars and a few hours to swap. If you don't like it, you won't be out much.

I have 2002 Road King the first thing I did was change the Handle bars to Heritage bars it does work with the cables on the bike.

I am 6' 4" and changed out the bars on my 01 road king classic to the road glide bar out of the p&a catalog no cable changes and they were only about $70 work pretty well for me

I installed the Heritage bars on my 05 RK. No wire or cable extensions. Made a hugh difference.
